The Ohio State football program just got a commitment that will make lots of fans happy. It comes from a legacy prospect in the form of Will Smith, Jr. who is a 2023 three-star defensive tackle according to 247Sports. He is, of course, the son of former Ohio State All-American defensive tackle Will Smith.
The elder Smith played for the Buckeyes from 1999 to 2003 and helped anchor a defensive line that led OSU to a national championship in 2002. He finished his career at Ohio State with 167 tackles, 46.5 of them for a loss, including 23 sacks. Smith was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2004 NFL draft. He was tragically shot and killed as a part of a road rage incident in 2016.
